Jenna Ortega
✓ Source-basedstableAmerican actress (born 2002)
She's the rare young actor whose stardom arrived through careful escalation - Disney comedies into Netflix thrillers into a three-film slasher run that earned her the "Gen Z's scream queen" tag before she was old enough to rent a car. Then Wednesday Addams happened, and the recognition went global.

About this person
Jenna Marie Ortega started acting at nine and spent her teens building a resume in increments: a recurring spot as young Jane on Jane the Virgin from 2014, a lead role as Harley Diaz on the Disney Channel's Stuck in the Middle from 2016 to 2018 (which brought her an Imagen Award), then a pivot into darker material with You in 2019 and The Babysitter: Killer Queen in 2020. Her performance as a traumatized student in The Fallout in 2021 drew real praise, but the breakout came when she stepped into horror full-time: Scream in 2022, X the same year, Scream VI in 2023. That trifecta cemented the scream queen label, but it was her turn as Wednesday Addams on Netflix's Wednesday in 2022 that vaulted her into award-season conversation - Golden Globe, Emmy, and SAG nominations followed. She's since carried Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in 2024 and the thriller Hurry Up Tomorrow in 2025, all while The Hollywood Reporter put her on their Power 100 in 2023 and Forbes named her to their 30 Under 30 the year after.
